Tip of the day

Garabag-Azersun Agdam - Rosenborg Under 2.5 WonAs much as I read about this match I think it is going to be under 2.5 goals. The main reason is Rosenborg's inability to score when they play against heavy defense. The players from Azerbaijan showed they can play in that style at "Lerkendal".

As I read the review from the match in the first half none of the teams had a single opportunity for goal. On the second half RBK was much better, but again they haven't been sharp enough.

I think that Garabag players are so stupid to try to overplay RBK and they will play with the same manner. With ten defenders and we already saw what happened.

Both teams haven't squad problem. Rosenborg only concern is about weather. It is about 30 degrees there with really heavy wind, which make the ball unpredictable. The host will try to succeed with their tactic and 30 000 fans on the National Stadium.

So an under 2.5 goals here for 2.3 coefficient.

Rubin Kazan vs CSKA Moskva 1 DNB Lost

Extremely difficult match to predict is that derby in Russian Premier League. First Rubin Kazan shows better play and results in last few games. However, if we take a look at the stats between those two clubs - it is not in hosts benefit at all.

CSKA won in last two meetings and haven't lost six games in a row against Rubin.

Both teams lost in midweek matches for Russian Cup, with Rubin played with their second team against 2nd division Ural and CSKA against 5 in the Premier League standing Samara.

Both teams have not huge problems in the squads. For CSKA will play again Wagner and Carvalho, Dominguesh is back for Rubin.

It is clear for me that nobody can say how this match will end. But I will back host here. The reasons for that are simple. First, the form they showed last two weeks, second the main players rested on Wednesday and finally Rubin will play on their stadium.

So a home win here, but secured with DNB for 1.75 coefficient.

Naftan vs AA Gent 1X Win

I've read in several forums that this match is a sure away win. I don't find a reason why this will happen. The Belorussian football is going higher with BATE Borisov ahead and I am sure the others will follow them. Right now Naftan is the team that followed them. They are on second place in the table with 3 straight wins and just one loss at home from six matches - from BATE Borisov.

The Belorussian championship is on its 13th round, as well as the Belgium haven't started yet. This is another argument in Naftan's hand.

Gent made some great friendlies with win 2:0 against Twente, but this is not something that will convince me.

This match will be interesting to follow with last year win that BATE Borisov made upon Anderlecht on their way to the Champions League. Why not Naftan repeat this win.

However I am on a bad row this week and I will secure myself with Asian Handy cap +0.5 for Naftan for 1.8 coefficient.

Tirana SK vs Stabæk Lost

This Champions League will be extremely important for teams like Stabæk. They are one of the Norwegian teams with serious financial troubles and the Champions League would be a great way to fix that. Or, at least in Stabæk think that way.

They are travelling to Albania to meet Tirana SK and eventually to take all three points.

Daniel Nannskog, the biggest Stabæk star in the past years will start this game on the bench for Daniel Berglund. He scored 6 goals in the last two Stabæk’s matches. There are no other serious names that will miss the match for Stabæk.

The Albanians have difficulties in the Champions league with 4 losses in a row and I can’t see a way here for them to go through the Norwegians. However, is it possible for Stabæk to win in Tirana tonight? Domzale and Modricha did it in the last two Champions League tournaments, then why not.

So, a win for Stabæk here for 2.05.

Macedonia vs BATE Lost

12 players have left BATE Borisov since their best season in history and really good performance in Champions League last year. Some of them were key players, some of them weren't, but the squad still has its core. Can these players do the same thing again and win tonight in Skopje?

This is the question that has been torturing me for the last few hours. I even asked my girlfriend about it and she predicted 1:0 for BATE.

I don't know why, but I do not believe in them right now. I even think Macedonia will continue forward, but we will see. However, take a look at the odds. Macedonia +0.5 is 2.05. This coefficient is good enough to bet on it, without any back thoughts if it's real or not. They will host the match. They have an opponent with changed squad and finally they have an opponent who knows there is a second match.

Why should we not bet for 0.5 Macedonia?
